An inside look at some of Foundation Source's
clients and their philanthropy.

About Our Clients

There's an oft-repeated saying in the philanthropic sector: "When you've seen one foundation, you've seen one foundation." That's because every foundation has its own unique approach to making the world a better place.

At Foundation Source, we see this first-hand among our more than 1,100 private foundation clients.

Who Are They?

Some of our client foundations are endowed with hundreds of millions of dollars; others have a few hundred thousand. Some client foundations are the province of a single donor; others engage entire families, spanning many generations. Some focus their giving on a single cause; others spread their donations across many worthy giving areas.

Despite these many differences, there's an emerging thread that connects the majority of today's philanthropists; they want more from their philanthropy. They look for greater impact and deeper engagement with their families. And they expect to see impact today, not at the end of their lives.

For these reasons, many have chosen the private foundation as their charitable vehicle, for the flexibility, versatility and control that only a private foundation offers, but with a difference.
